How Can Altmetrics Be Used in Epidemiology Research?
Researchers and institutions can use altmetrics to measure the real-time impact of their work. For example, during an epidemic like COVID-19, altmetrics can track how research findings are being disseminated and discussed across various platforms, aiding in the quick adaptation of public health strategies. Altmetrics can also help identify key influencers and stakeholders who are pivotal in spreading and implementing new research findings.
